Lunt's favorite for the season is Poppy, a functional, biker-inspired bag featuring plentiful zips. It's available in a generous color range including tough black, fresh white and richer tones of fawn, coral, navy and mustard.
Other key models of the season and some from Mulberry's pre-fall collection were also presented by models at the store's opening late last month.
The brand's signature collections such as Bayswater and Roxanne have been reinterpreted in new materials and larger sizes. Shiny vinyl, denim and silver hardware appear on most styles both for men and women. Men's accessories bring a clean, monochromatic array of new shapes with broad appeal. The Justin holdall and Bailey bag of white leather exemplify the sporty luxe trend ahead.
Women's accessories for early autumn are all about polished luxury with a bold injection of color. The new Milton collection features polished leathers in dramatic tones of emerald, fuchsia and ocean blue and shiny brass hardware in graphic shapes. The high-gloss leather Maggie family emerges in rich shades of raspberry, green, and winter white - and for ultra decadence, bronze snakeskin.
Men's styles are more edgy and grungy, with totes, holdalls and satchels created in both antique leather and in canvas of taupe, gray and black, adorned with authentic army detailing.
One of the top US accessories brands, Coach has been flourishing in China and opened a new store at Pudong's Nextage Department Store.
At the opening, models showcased Coach's latest collections of unique fabrics, fresh hues and iconic hardware detailing.
Detailed shoulder straps, large buckles and retro shapes define the Soho collection to be launched in Coach stores this month in Shanghai. The new Ergo collection is made of delicately pleated leather and comes in a rich palette, while the classic Hampton totes are available in saturated colors of red, green, yellow and blue.
The Bleecker line features burnished leather with a distinctive vintage feel, detailed with the brand's famous dog-leash closure. Coach has also introduced a sleek, shiny jewelry collection of necklaces, rings and bangles made of resin and glass.
